Description
After a little research I managed to trace the zodiac back to the first recorded civilizations.Capricorn represented mans' rights over animals of the land and of the sea; the goat and the fish. It's holding it's own horns because it's purpose is to be sacrificed. It's hermaphroditic and multi limbed to add to the deity feel. It's backed by Mesopotamian cuneiform (probably someone's record of how many oxen he sold that year or some such mundane thing). The knife is Sumerian and I'm not sure if it's actually ceremonial and/or sacrificial (although since it has a fuller it's obviously intended for use in animals/people).
I used animator's colerase pencil (blue) on sketch paper. The rest is Photoshop. Prints are available here: [link]

I saw this deviation and was so impressed I scoured in vain through your gallery to see if you'd done the rest of the zodiac. This is such a dark and haunting interpretation, and so wonderfully illustrated. I certainly hope you do more!

Reminds me very much of Brom's work. I love Brom. He's brilliant. Nice symbolism.

One of the most interesting displays of a Seagoat I've ever seen. Scary yet tantalizing. I love it.

Lol, I was going to ask the artist the same thing !!! (I'm a capricorn and I'm searching for a good tattoo featuring my sign)
I won't get it done then ^^
But yours is very well done !

but you should do it if you want and have enough money to get it done by a professional. I'm very pleased with how my artist corrected it but I think it's not as perfect as this drawing, still, close enough.

Having "this perfect tattoo" isn't that easy. I'm satisfied with the ones I already have, but they are never "perfect". Except for once, though. I'll get tattooed by this guy again, he's a genius.
I'll think about doing it. When I have enough money. Already have so many tattoos I'd like to get ! \o/
